It sounds like your daughter has experienced bullying in relation to her physical appearance, and primarily about her weight. Teenage years are the time when children begin to learn, understand their bodies and also struggle with changes that come with puberty. Being teased about one's weight can deeply impact a growing child's self-esteem and body image. I suggest you work through your own anxieties and ask yourself what it would take to establish a relationship of trust with your son and your own parenting. As adults, we dislike when others don't trust us or doubt our choices, imagine how a growing teenager would feel?
